how to please help

can anyone help me on this

how would you create an online cd burning program

which lang is best to wite it in

thx

Whoa, you mean a program like Nero, but web-based? I don't want to say it's impossible, but if you did it, you'd either need to pass a dozen OS security checks or use some backdoor programming. The level of system access you'd need would be too great. On Windows Server OSes, you can't even burn a CD unless you're logged in as Admin.

"Create" or put an already created burn program on the web? For the latter, among other things, you will need a website.
There are lots of good, free CD burn programs already available. For example, Deep Burner.
http://www.deepburner.com/

What advantage do you see in having the program web-based versus available for download from the web?

Language? I suspect English is the best way of reaching the most people. But when you create in another language, if the program is a good one, you should be able to find others to translate into many languages.
And, if your program is good, you may want to look into copyrighting it (before disclosing it) so you can become a rich person, if you are not already. :)

yes im talking about creating an online burner rather than paying for recording programs

zombienation--I think you mean you want to know how to download music from the web for free. (Unless you mean you want to allow free downloads from your own website for others to use.)
Someone else will have to help you. Most of the free sites and peer-to-peer swapping sites are now out of business.

If you are saying that you want to write your own burning app, then you would almost certainly want to write it in unmanaged C++. I can't find anything in the .NET Framework that would make it easy to do.

You'd probably be better off asking about this at our sister site:

back again
i have written a burner program a simple one.
just would like to know if it is possible
to get an online version of it to work via
the internet to burn music files and text documents.
ONLINE to cd. any examples available

if so what programming lang would i use to be able to
achieve this.

thank you for your time

NO their own music from their computer

I'm afraid I don't really understand the question :confused: If the files are online then all you do is download them to the PC in the normal way then burn them. You can then delete the downloaded files afterwards if you wish. Or were you meaning something different?

the files or music would be on the THEiR computer.

the prog i want to have it web based to burn cd and like.

I have written an app to burn cds etc but need to run it online everytime i go to run it it downloads the file what im i doing wrong

In order for it to work, it has to be on their computer, hense the download.

Check out the free onlne av scanners and see how they do it.

Please do an online virus scan with at least two of the below site:

so what your saying the cd burning program i wrote how do i acheive to get it in web format
cause its an .exe file eveytime it wants to download to the pc, not run how do i achieve this

DONT want nero etc i would like my program on the internet to run not download

thank you

I agree with Train that at the burning stage, the software or the disk image must be on the pc. Your idea would work fine if the dvd compilation was made on the Internet and then downloaded to the pc for compiling the disk image or directly burning.

Even though current burners have decent sized buffers, they still need a steady stream of data that must not be interrupted. The Internet is fairly reliable if you have cable but you can expect some burn failures due to interruptions (like a Windows or Norton update coming through at that time). Even when I burn dvds on my pc, I disconnect from the Internet because NAV live updates have caused burn failures.

I think he's trying to run the APP as a browser plug-in (like javascript or something), with the DATA that is held locally. Right now he has an EXE file and he wants a file that will download transparently to the user and run within IE or some other browser.
Again, I doubt many browsers would loosen security enough to make this possible. In windows, writing to a CD is a pretty low-level process.
I'm no programmer, but if any language is leading in that direction, it's .NET.

correct as a plug in type burner

Some of the online virus scanners that Train mentioned use ActiveX. Security on the pc can be got around and will allow access/delete capability to all files. However, it raises the question of whether people are willing to allow that for this sort of application. The application needs to be bullet-proof to prevent hacking. It's a portal to your entire pc.

I just don't see burning as being an online activity. As I mentioned, for many people it means disconnecting from the Internet to stop interruptions from various programs and updates. That rather defeats the purpose of an online burning program. If you stay online and there is some unexpected activity, what do you do? Any intervention may ruin the burn. You only have to look through forums like this to see there are enough dvd burning problems already without having to be concerned with the Internet.

I'm not helping at all with the original question but I think the practicalities should be examined.

Well when I bought my first 2x burner in 1996 I know I didn't want any interruptions, but I don't think many people have to worry about 100% processor usage when burning a CD anymore. DVD, maybe.

I don't know if you are referring to my comments. Processor usage is not the issue (low for any burning process), processor interruption is. When Win or NAV updates come in for example, they hog the processor until the installation is complete. They don't care two hoots what else you are doing.

It's easy enough to check out. Stop any updates for a few weeks then do a manual update while you are burning a disk.
